Katie Burns

Position name: Customer Service Coordinator

What do you do at Desiring God? I help to make sure our call center is running smoothly. Good customer service is what my job is all about!

How long have you been involved with DG? Since July of 2006

Place of birth: St. Paul, Minnesota

Favorite writers: St. Augustine, Andrew Murray, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Elliott, John Piper.

Favorite John Piper quote: He makes reference to 2 Timothy 2: 25 and then says, “The ministry is doing only what God can do.” From “When I Don’t Desire God”

Family information: I am the youngest of three kids. All my family still lives around the cities. I especially like spending time with my nieces Audrey (3 yrs) and Allie (8 mo.)

On living in Minneapolis, Minnesota: I love the city! I do not always love the cold weather, but I still love Minneapolis. There’s a lot to do and a lot to see.

What do you enjoy most for refreshment? I enjoy a lot of things. In the winter I like stay inside (preferably with a fireplace next to me) or playing broomball. In the spring, summer, and fall I like to be outside as much as possible! Mostly I love getting together with my close friends and family and talking about what God has done in our lives. I also like to play my guitar…but I’m not very good at that.

Ministry involvement other than DG: I work with the senior high at Bethlehem Baptist. I lead a group of 7 girls on Sunday and Wednesday nights. They are amazing girls who love Jesus and I am very blessed to be their leader! I am also a mentor to a teenage girl who is going through the program at Teen Challenge.
